Adobe Audition Reviews & Product Details

Audition is a great tool for recording voice overs, transferring tape to wav / MP3 files. It is also great for cleaning up noisy audio. It is the software of choice of many radio stations for editing commercials and programs

There isn't much not to like. As with other Adobe products, if your subscription runs out, you are stuck until you reactivate.

Great editor for fixing audio. The spectral view allows you to surgically remove sounds, that you can't in other programs.

I like the format for producing a podcast. The mixing and editing is very crisp and it makes everything sound great. The latest update has DeNoise and and DeReverb features, helping to smooth the recordings. Cutting the tracks is just like any editing product, expect there is not another that will do it so clean.

The learning curve is just as steep as most Adobe products, It is not the hardest one, and just like all it is vital to learn.

We can create podcasts with many audio channels and mix in music.

Adobe Audition is a great one stop audio editing software. Previously, I would use a regular DAW to edit my film audio, and the plug-ins within them. But Adobe Audition has several built in tools which refine audio impurities, and adds audio effects with a great ease of use. I found audition great value for money, considering plug ins for DAW software will cost you the same, if not more for just one of the features Audition provides.

Unless you already have a pretty good knowledge of audio editing, like other adobe programmes, there can be a learning curve with Audition. I would also prefer if it weren't as buggy when it comes to interacting with Adobe Bridge.

The cross over between all the Adobe Programmes, with such a high quality output is very impressive. It has really helped with my workflow, and ensured I have a professional out come every time.

I work in radio and we use Adobe Audition almost exclusively for editing and packaging audio. You can really do a lot with the program and come away with really professional work.

It definitely takes some training to know what you're doing. Unlike some programs, I think it would be really difficult to sit down at Audition and just figure things out on your own. There is a lot you can do with the program but it 's hard to even know what it's capable of without some training of some sort.

We use Audition almost exclusively for our audio editing and packaging. It has really made our local news segments possible.

I like that Adobe provides an industry standard audio editing software that integrates seamlessly into the Creative Cloud product(s) I use most, Premiere. Premiere has it's own editor and plugins but Audition ads new layers of granularity that I appreciate.

It's overwhelming for an audio novice, but there are plenty of tutorials Adobe provides along with many videos online (YT).

We record podcasts and edit audio for video production in the marketing department.

Audition makes it easy to lower the background noise levels in your videos using capture noise print features.

Interface can be confusing using the multi track feature

Cleaning up problematic audio in screen recordings and video

You can save the file in a variety of formats

There's a monthly fee for something that used to be free.

As a news anchor, and voice over artist I need to use Audition for recording and editing my reports; I have learned how to "process" the file using the software, and save it in various formats. This has allowed me to work from home. It essentially replaced "Cool Edit", which I preferred as it seemed easier to learn.

The fact that the essentials haven't changed in the past 15 years is what keeps this software relevant. That, and the ability to use it in professional, personal, and educational settings.

The mandatory subscription fee, of course. The location of certain menu items changing from version to version.

Quickly recording and processing talk radio programs in a studio setting. Also, recording live worship audio and sermons. Additionally the simple instruction of students in an audio production classroom setting.

Easy play back, cutting and adding effects, importing into premiere is perfect!

Haven't found anything that I wasn't able to do.

Sound quality and level

It's fairly easy to use and get started with and it's very powerful.

Going behind very basic editing functions, it's pretty confusing, then again I'm a video editor and not an Audio engineer.

Video editing

I can work cross platform from Adobe Premier or Adobe After Effects to Audition, allowing me to easily access and open the audio track. Has great multitrack recording and audio restoration abilities. I use it a lot to remove unwanted noise in my video editing. Has big library of audio effects that comes with the software as well as many third party plugins for extra support.

Does not have virtual instruments or MIDI tracking. I use the tool purely for audio editing and restoration.

I use the tool mainly for editing audio and restoring audio track. Its quick and fast and does the job perfectly. Does not have to to be an audio precessional to be able to use it.

This software its the best for audio editing, it's amazing to edit multiple audio tracks, also for special sound effects for movies and video clips.

Overall this program I like but maybe they should add some audio filters to have a greater range of sound effects, could expand the number of tutorials to learn to use it better.

I have used in academic work, for editing sounds of music, and has given me very good results

Lots of very good filters and tools to edit sound and clear it up. It handles multiple tracks well, and never crashes. Audition gets the job done even if it isn't alwats the simplest.

I don't like the file handling, I don't like how it seems to create files and folders that I did not ask it to. Some basic tools like making it easy to change the playback speed are/were missing for the longest time. Simple track editing like trimming a section seems harder than it needs to be (more keystrokes and tool selecting). I don't always know what the UI is telling me.

I use it to edit podcasts. Specifically I need to edit the clips and clean up any background noise from the audio which may be captured from multiple sources that are not clean.

First, consider that this review is coming from an average non-professional user. I do not edit audio for a living nor do I have a background in using editing products. For me, it was a steep learning curve -- but it's not IMPOSSIBLE. Essentially, if you want to make some basic clean-ups, it's not too terribly hard to learn enough about this project to be dangerous. Capturing a soundprint of the room and then removing that background noise, for example, can be done with a few clicks, and even if that was ALL you did to your audio, it'd be a huge improvement. The nitty-gritty is also available; for an amateur user like me, it was just a bit out of reach.

I was angry at this program for approximately the first two days. Unless you're a pro, don't expect to access the super-advanced parts of this program without serious instruction. I spent hours in YouTube videos trying to learn how to do even the most basic of things.

We use Adobe Audition to edit audio for internal communications products. We are very low-tech in our recording (just a small lapel mic plugged into an iphone), and Audition really helps to clean up the sound. I am always really impressed with the final product.

Audition walks me through basic audio processes, and since my background is in video and not audio, this is essential functionality.

I wish Audition included a glossary of terms from the audio field. I don't really know what the terms mean at times.

As a video professional, I need to quickly piece together quality audio solutions with a minimum of fuss. Audition has helped me do this for years.

The user interface is extremely easy to use. It is a very easy program to learn. It is a great industry standard for radio.

If you are using any not up-to-date versions of it, it is not worth it.

As a college radio station, we have DJ's record their shows using Audition. Audition is the best program for this.

It does everything that I need allowing me to produce high quality audio for tutorials and various learning content.

The interface is decidedly NOT intuitive. It takes a while to learn and the UI/UX could be clearer.

Recording audio for learning modules.

It works seamlessly with the other Adobe softwares

It's not super intuitive if you don't know much about audio mixing

It lets me do my own audio mixing in the post production process.

The ease in editing sound filesboth in singular audio files, or a mixdown, helps any sound editor or musician to pinpoint and edit their work with precision.

The overall UI and design is intimidating to start with, and much of the options available to you would need extensive experimentation or research to understand their uses.

Audition has helped me cut, mix, and organize music, narration, and sound effects effectively, taking my work to the next level of quality assurance.

I can easily edit out background noise and create professional and consistent sounding audio by applying preset noise gates.

Except for the most basic stuff, it's not very intuitive. I've had to watch a lot of videos and do a lot of googling to figure out how to use certain features.

We have to record audio in an area with a lot of background noise and sometimes have to do many takes. Audition allows me to cut out what I don't need, splice audio together, and eliminate distracting background noises.
